Well you could look here

Probably the best bet for greatest hits, is this.

**** that.

Well, better go for the live albums then, they usually contain the best songs. Other than that, Back in Black, High Voltage, Highway to Hell, If you want blood, to name a couple.

Nothing ACDC have done comes close being classified as "must have," all of it sucks and you would much better off spending money on decent music, like Head Control System or dredg. I really don't know why people insist on listening to awful bands with no good qualities when there's so much incredible music out there.

So,you are saying that Ac/dc,a band since 1973, has less quality than Head Control System,a band since 2003?And why you believe this?

Even,the 2 members of Head Control System are younger than the band "AC/DC"...

there's so much incredible music out there

Like what?

Ps.i am just expressing my opinion,no offense

How long a band has been around is irrelevant to their quality. Everything ACDC have put out is repetitive and boring. Head Control System's album is far superior, I don't think they're even in the same league (obviously).

Like these bands off the top of my head: King Crimson, Tool, Joanna Newsom, Isis, Meshuggah, dredg, Thrice, Ulver, Agalloch, The Shins, etc, etc, (mostly) from rock and metal.

AC/DC is a great blues-rock band. I don't know if you listen to much blues, but that's pretty much what blues is - I IV V progressions out the ass. I didn't even like AC/DC growing up, but as I listen to them now, I love their music due to its simplicity and sheer balls. They're a fun band to listen and rock-out too. You're one of those musical snobs! lol Don't worry, I was too not so long ago. I love complex music just as much as I like simpler things.

Not really. I like lots of "simple" music (The Shins, Sixpence, etc). I just thought it'd be a waste of time getting into ACDC when I think they're crap.

Thing is though, it was Snyper asking for recommendations not you. If you had asked for recommendations and someone suggested ACDC then you could spout off all you want. The fact is that Snyper asked specifically for ACDC recommendations and was given them. There was no need for you to chime in with your hating of ACDC.

Just because you think there crap doesn't mean others do. If Snyper want to get into them, let him, its no skin off your nose.

Well,i wasnt thinking like this.I was thinking that they are in the rock scene,since 1973.They have great experience of creating rock music.

They have millions of fans,and thats why they are famous as "The Monsters Of Rock" and thats why they have sold 150 million albums.

Have you ever seen what happens to lives?The whole crowd is singing

Do you think that the fans of Ac/Dc and the fans of Head Control System are the same number?I dont think so

How can you say AC/DC are crap? Sorry but true metalhead = AC/DC

+1 (Y)

Ps.i am not trying to change your favourite band.Just,i cant hear "Ac/Dc suck"

I thought snyper's "quest" was open to consideration. Well I don't think it's a bad thing for him to know of other opinions about a band.

Nonsense!! You remind me of my (very annoying) friend.

Of course not, but come on, Britney Spears has more fans than ACDC but that doesn't mean she's any better.

Well you should calm down, it's only my opinion! :p

I don't think so pal and not trying to fight here but AC/DC pretty much owns on albums sold and fans. If you check out the most sold albums ever in music you will see that metal/rock dominates most. Michael Jackson takes the top spot tho :p

    • AMD releases hotfix for driver install issues on Windows 10 PCs

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      AMD releases hotfix for driver install issues on Windows 10 PCs by Taras Buria Earlier this week, AMD released an important graphics driver update. Version 26.6.2 brought AMD FSR 4.1 support to the previous-gen Radeon lineup, the RX 7000 series, giving users better upscaling tech that was previously locked to the newest GPUs. However, the driver turned out to be a little buggy, with users reporting installation issues on systems still running Windows 10. AMD quickly acknowledged the bug and today released a hotfix to resolve the problem. The AMD 26.6.3 Hotfix update is now available for download from the official website. Given that it is a hotfix release, it has only one change in its release notes: AMD announced the update on its official X account and added that a WHQL driver update with the necessary fixes would be released next week. Meanwhile, users can apply the hotfix or roll back to the previous driver using the official AMD Cleanup Utility. You can download AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.3 Hotfix Preview Driver from the official website here. It is compatible with all currently supported graphics cards and 64-bit Windows 10 and 11. Full release notes are available on the same page.
    • Windows 11 is now five years old

      By Nick H. · Posted

      With Microsoft now listening to its core audience and acting upon received feedback, fans can finally expect a much better version of Windows 11 than what was available five years ago. Here is to five more years, Windows 11! I guess we all need a good laugh now and again...
    • Amazon Prime Day 2026 deal sees Samsung Odyssey 49" 240Hz QD-OLED monitor at lowest price

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Amazon Prime Day 2026 deal sees Samsung Odyssey 49" 240Hz QD-OLED monitor at lowest price by Sayan Sen Earlier today we covered a very good deal on JBL's BAR 800 Dolby Atmos soundbar system as the unit is available for just $600 as part of Amazon Prime Day 2026 deals. That's not all though as there are many more discounts to choose from. If you are looking for a high-end monitor, Samsung's 49 inch G9 QD-OLED gaming monitor is a solid deal too as it's currently just $855 (purchase link under the specs table down below). It is a super-ultrawide (32:9) 1440p curved gaming monitor and as such should offer a very immersive experience. The G93SC is a 49-inch QD-OLED (Quantum Dot OLED) screen and that means it should have excellent contrast as well as color reproduction. Brightness is a bit lacking though so if you are looking to set it up in a relatively bright room, you may be better off with something else. Speaking of external light and brightness, the major difference on the G93SC vs the newer G93SD is that the latter comes with Samsung's "Glare Free" technology to reduce glare while the C model packs a glossy finish. The technical specifications of the Samsung G93SC are given in the table below: Specification Value Panel Type OLED Screen Shape Curved Screen Curvature 1800R Resolution DQHD (5120 × 1440) Aspect Ratio 32:9 Brightness (Typical) 250 cd/m² Brightness (Minimum) 200 cd/m² Contrast Ratio 1,000,000:1 HDR Support VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 HDR10+ HDR10+ Gaming Response Time 0.03 ms (GTG) Refresh Rate Up to 240 Hz Viewing Angle 178° Horizontal / 178° Vertical Color Support 1 Billion Colors Color Gamut 99% DCI-P3 (CIE1976) Adaptive Sync FreeSync Premium Pro / G-SYNC Compatible DisplayPort 1 × DisplayPort 1.4 HDMI 1 × HDMI 2.1 Micro HDMI 1 × Micro HDMI 2.1 USB Hub 3 × USB 3.0 Speakers Built-in Speaker Output 5W × 2 Channels Operating Temperature 10°C – 40°C Operating Humidity 10–80% (Non-condensing) Stand Type Height Adjustable Stand (HAS) Height Adjustment 120.0 ± 5.0 mm Tilt -2° (±2°) to 15° (±2°) Wall Mount 100 × 100 mm (VESA) Included HDMI Cable HDMI-to-Micro HDMI Cable Included DisplayPort Cable Yes Get it at the link below: Samsung 49" Odyssey G93SC Series Curved Gaming Monitor, QD-OLED: $854.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US with Prime) Prime subscription can be cancelled within three business days at no cost. Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Windows 11 is now five years old

      Actually Windows 11 is the GUI from Windows 10 X slapped onto Windows 10. Hence the many performance issues and initial limitations of the UI, like all the restrictions on the task bar placement and features. You could not even right click on the Taskbar and bring up task manager when it first shipped. Windows 10X was truly a new OS from the ground up. Basically a lightweight OS that ran containers for various app types. Win32 got its own container. Performance was not good and OEM’s pushed back on it, but wanted a new OS to push Pc sales. Hence Windows 11. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_10X

      Windows 10 was 6 years old when Microsoft revealed Windows 11. Does this mean Windows 12 is due next year?
